A CITY THROUGH A WINDOW “From a tiny window much can be seen. Sun raise, pink sky, sleeping roads, hardly any people in sight. The time can also be told by the large ticking Guildhall clock. The city’s attractions can be seen no matter the day, hour, minute, a type of sail that balloons outward touching the clouds. Large buildings in sight, some unclothed. Steel beams act as a frame of what could been seen. Bright light hits down on the city, shining on people as small as ants which scatter out of the train station, shops, buildings and alleys. A roundabout, heart of this area, pulls in and pushes everything and everyone out. The sunset gradually makes its way down to meet the horizon. The night sky complements the glowing lights of the living city. Looking like shiny stars. And this is all so insignificant, all this beauty seen through a tiny window.”

TRANSPORTS AROUND THE SITE
Site Strip Document
My site is located in the third strip. Here we can find great transports
facilities such as Portsmouth Harbour train station, the coach station “Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, evenand if the bus thread of their discourse secret, their rules station. They areislinked to the concept of momentum, are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything integrated inelse.” my story and the reason to why i chose strip site three. conceals something I. Calvino Many trains and coaches get cancelled or delayed around this area... (Taken from This lead me to further investigate this area andPortsea later Island on build onGooglemaps) strip three.

GROUP STRATEGY
THE MOVEMENT MUSEUM NODE FOR CONNECTION The area highlighted in yellow represents a potential site for a building that would bring together the social and the student communicates. The nearby location of the student centre and the social centre make this an ideal potion for a building with this purpose.
SOCIAL COMMUNITY Many homes are located in this district, in comparison to the pink buildings.
CONNECTION Connection from both districts to the node. Continuing this to my supposed site.
STUDENT COMMUNITY The South-West is where most of the students are located. The student accommodation, sport grounds and shopping centre further highlight why this may be the case.
BRIEF The brief invites me to design a place (museum) for a collection of artefacts and objects that showcase how ‘movement’ within Portsmouth has changed over time. The museum will reveal something currently unseen in existing museums within Portsmouth. The museum should encourage diverse audiences to come together and learn about something currently not exhibited. The design and my scheme should energize the selected site and complement the existing provision in the city.
‘MOVEMENT’ – THE ACT OF MOVING, CHANGE OR DEVELOPMENT.
HUMAN REQUIREMENTS -The users require a facility to exhibit currently unseen artefacts in Portsmouth. -The users require a space to learn about how movement in Portsmouth has changed overtime. -Users will require a building that can be occupied whilst waiting for transportation -Humans will require basic shared services within the building such as WC’s. -Users require a facility that is needed within the area and will energize the location.
SPATIAL REQUIRMENTS -The museum will provide exhibition spaces to showcase objects and artefacts. -The museum will have gallery spaces to display work related to movement. -Some spaces will be defined more private than others. -The spatial arrangement will accommodate all users, families, individuals and children
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS -The museums function is to display, educate and exhibit work about movement to users. -The museum will act as a facility/space for waiting. -The building will act primarily as a museum, but also as a community social hub

SITE 3 - CHOSEN AREA Following on from the connection of the two communities. This diagram illustrates how the path continues and crates a new path which leads to the building. As well as one way in which pedestrians can arrive at the museum form Gunwhalf quays.

KEY CHOSEN AREA
The red dots illustrate the paths that leads to the museum from different stations/areas.
Local bus station which shows movement a form of transport. This area is also one of the last points of the Portsmouth millennium route.
The train station is another form of movement. It will also benefit the museum as when people come out and filter through direct towards the museum.
A clear view from the coach station to the museum.
SITE 3 - ADAPTED AREA ORIGINAL SITE
Original site, currently there is a fish story near the edge, a bus stop, train station and coach station. There is a statue which cannot be demolished near the site. Near the edge there is three meters of walking space.
ADAPT 1
Expending the amount of space the user has on the edge creates an easier circulation from the coach/train station.

ADAPT 2
ADAPT 3
Some boats come to shore in the area. In the adaptation it will either be removed so the view the users can fully taken advantage of the views.
The ground floor mirrors the shape of the edge creating a dynamic flow of movement for the users and connecting with the geometric shape of the building.

WITH BUILDING
My story highlights OBSERVATIONS and VIEW. I incorporated view and observation within my building my changing how the users in the building view each other and the art work. This was achieved by angling each rectangular element longer than each other. Also placing the windows at different angles.

STRUCTURE
It can be seen to make a connection between timber cladding and concrete need an insulation. Which can help to protect the inside layer from humidity and rain.
Kroyers Plads Residential development in Copenhagen one set of triple glazing. The Movement uses two sets of triple glazing to further reduce the amount of sunlight.
The museum consists of six beams. They are placed around the centre of the buildings to with hold the centralised pressure. The external walls hold the buildings pressure.
